Production Notes
Del Maguey Chichicapa epitomizes a careful and traditional approach to mezcal production. The process begins with the harvesting of the wild agave plants, which are then slow-roasted over hot stones in a conical pit in the ground. Once roasted, the agave is crushed and naturally fermented in wooden vats. Finally, this mezcal is double-distilled in a copper alembic for purity and to achieve its rich, earthy flavor.
